The prescribed qualities in the

when their history, coupled with the

success depends not so much upon

THANKSGIVING OF THIEVES.

They Observe the Day by Keeping
their HANDS from Picking and Steal
ing.
Thanksgiving day was sort of a picnic
for the police. They found the city unus-
ually orderly; and the slight amount of
work they had to do. inclined them to wish
that the good people of this city would give
thanks every day. There were only two ar
rests during the whole day, and both of
them were for drunkenness brought about
by over-indulgence in cranberry sauce.
The two men who were arrested were drunk
enough for half a dozen it is
true, but they did not serve to keep up the
reputation of tine force 1t is a poor day
when only two arrests are made, and the
officers hunted hard for some dlsturbers of
the peace to fill up the docket but all the
old time offenders seemed to have gone to
Charleston or Thunderbolt, for none of them
could be found in town.
At the Jail, too, the day was dull and I'M
interesting. The exciting incident of the
day previous, and the defeat of the plan to
escape, had rather put a danper on the
spirit of thanksgiving that had imbued the
prisoners, and though they ate their turkey,
they did it as if they we're protesting against
partaking of anything on the holiday They
ate it just the same, however, and some of
them ate a goodly allowance. In spite of
his wounds Fred Wright destroyed his share
of gobbler and seemed to enjoy it.
The criminals kept themselves quiet all
day. and failed to raise even an ordinary
holiday row

Record ofan Enjoyable Day.
St Turkeys day was we'll opened.
More beautiful weather than Savan-
nah had yesterday could not be
asked. 1t was bright and clear,
just warm enough and none too cold.
Everybody was out of doors. In the fore
noon the business part Of the city did not
show many signs of a holiday. Very
few stores were closed, and the
banks, exchanges and government offices
were about the only places where business
was not going on as usual.
Towards noon the large business houses
began to close, and by 2 o'clock the
wholesale and retail trade of the city was
suspended. After the Thanksgiving dinner
had been eaten, everybody wanted to go
somewhere, and most of them did.
There was a big crowd at all
Of the resorts. The Tybee trains carried
down a crowd to the beach, and the Coast
Line cars were filed at every trip. The
woods were full of sportsmen, and
the game had to suffer.
In the city it was very quiet day. The
only people on the streets in the afternoon
were promenaders, and the houses wore
a Sunday appearance. The saloons and
restaurants had a rush of custom, but in
spite OF all the eating and drinking there
were few disturbances, and the police had
as quiet Thanksgiving as they ever had,

The church was crowded with friends
of the bride and groom. The
decorations for the morning Thanks
giving services formed a part of the
decorations for the wedding Flowers were
strewn about the chancel and altar, and at
the head of the centre aisle two floral gates
opened.
The organ pealed forth the wedding
march from Tannheuser as two little girls,
cousins of the bride, marched up the aisle
and took their places beside the gates. They
were followed by the ushers, who stood on
either side of the aisle. The groomsmen
followed them, and behind them came the
bridesmaids, who took their posi-
tions on either side of the floral
arch, under which the bride and
groom were to stand. Last of all they
came, and as they marched up toward the
Fisse awaited them, the strains of the organ
rang out louder and louder until the bridal
party reached the arch, when they grad
ually died away.
Rev. DR.. Wilson began the impressive
ceremony, which was taken up by Rev. Mr.
Strong after the plighting of the troth. At
the conclusion of the ceremony the bride
and groom led the way down the aisle, while
the bridesmaids met the groolnsmen and fol
lowed behind them, and at the last the little
Misses Gadsden closed the gates and took
their places in the bridal procession.
The bride wore beautiful white silk
dress with court train. Her veil was
caught up with orange blossoms, and was
fastened with a diamond pin. The brides
maids were in white. The groomsmen and
ushers were in full dress. Mrs. Burke, who
presided at the organ, played Mendelssohns
wedding march as the bridal party left
the church. A reception was held at the
brides home after the ceremony, and Mr.
and Mrs. Ravenel left later in the evening

The ThunderbOlt Races Called on Ac-
count of Darkness.
The combination race at Thunderbolt
yesterday afternoon was one of the most
interesting and exciting that has ever taken
place on that track. The entries were Land
lord PAGER. and Allie, Maggie d and Maggie
X, trotters. That was the first race of the
kind ever known here. The entrance of a
PAGER against three trotters made the race
novel one, and attracted to it an enormous
crowd of people. The grounds were packed
with people, who awaited themselves of
every opportunity to see the race from
start to finish. The horses started well in
the first heat, and covered the track
in good time, Landlord winning in 800.
Landlord also won the second heat in 2:59M,
and it was bunch heat surely,
for the horses all came in
together, with but little difference
of time between them. The third heat was
one of the prettiest ever trotted on that
track. 1t was hot fight between Landlord
and the game little mare, Maggie D., but
the latter won in the end in 2:5919. On ac-
count of darkness the two remaining heats
were postponed until to-day at 8 o'clock,
when the race win be decided. Messrs. +.

acted as judges. No admission will be
charged this afternoon.

TOO ANXIOUS TO DIE.
A Colored Boy Takes Two Ounces of
Laudanum, but Is Revived.

A ColOred Boy Takes Two Ounces of
Laudanum, but Is Revived.
A colored boy named Robert Steele, who
came here from Atlanta about three weeks
ago, tried to commit suicide yesterday by
swallowing nearly two ounces of laudanum.
He was at work at the Brunswick Saloon,
and his employer paid him off yesterday in
order that he might have some money
to spend during the holiday. In the
afternoon he was sent down Broughton
street on a message. When he returned he
told the keeper of the saloon that he
was tired of living; his father, he said, had
driven him from his house, and he did not
care longer to bear the ills that flesh is heir
to. He gave the address of his father, and
requested that he be informed of the sui
eide of his son when it should
occur. A short while after this the saloon
keeper went into the rear part of the build
ing and found Steele lying on the floor with
a two ounce phial marked, "laudanum,"
beside him. He ran for policeman, but
could not find one He then went to Justice
Waring Russell's Office, but it was closed
so he procured a wagon and removed Steele
to the Georgia Infrmary. RestOratives
were applied, and it is thought he will re-
cover as the dose he took was too large to be
fatal, and the attendants succeeded in ap-
plying the remedies in time.
